Tips & Tricks

  • Check the tortellini early – You don’t want it to get mushy, so start checking at the 2.5-hour mark.
  • Fresh vs. frozen spinach – Frozen is easy and melts right in. Fresh works too—just stir it in at the end.
  • Make it meatless – Totally optional, but the sausage adds a lot of flavor. Want vegetarian? Just skip it!
  • Cut cream cheese into chunks – This helps it melt evenly and blend into the broth.
  • Use full-fat cream cheese – It makes the soup richer and creamier. Worth it.

FAQs

Yes! Just add it closer to the end of the cooking time—about 45 minutes before serving so it doesn’t overcook.

Absolutely. It’s a great option if you’re making a vegetarian version.

It can, but the texture of the tortellini may soften more after freezing. If you want to freeze, consider cooking the tortellini fresh when reheating.

Italian sausage (mild or hot) is great, but turkey sausage or even spicy chorizo can work if that’s what you have on hand.

Yes! Sauté the sausage, then combine everything in a large pot. Simmer until the tortellini is tender and the cream cheese is melted—about 20-30 minutes total.
